Works As Advertised
The Rehook Tyre Glider made removing and installing a tire on my bicycle easy. Once I pried the tire away from the room and inserted the Tyre Glider, I simply pushed the tool around the rim and watched the tire peel away. No need for tire"irons."I put the Tyre Glider in my bicycle tool box and bought another to keep when I'm riding.

Works well, not a gimmick
I was skeptical at first but after yet another frustrating tire change using traditional tire levers I decided to give this a try. What a difference! Today's road tires fit really tight and getting them on and off the rim is not easy no matter how much experience you have. This single little tool works surprisingly well. I bought a second one for the seat pack to replace the tire levers I normally carry and one for the workbench. Good-by tire levers.

Never going back to old style tire levers
The Rehook Tyre Glider is a game-changer for on-the-road repairs. Many tires are difficult to reinstall after changing a tube, especially if it's cold outside or wet (exactly the times when you don't want to be spending 20 minutes on the side of the road in the weather). With the Tyre Glider, reinstalling the tire takes like 10 seconds. It's reliable even with cold fingers and a tough tire. You can push with the palm of your hand, so it's much easier to get leverage using your arms. Compared to traditional tire levers, for the few extra dollars this product costs it's a steal.

This thing's near perfect.
After using standard tire levers for years, and then trying the tire bead jack wrenches, so many tire beads are near impossible to install without losing knuckle skin or damn near breaking a thumb. I watched YouTube vids for this and was skeptical, but in practical use, this is the easiest, fastest, and least effort tool, because you leverage your body weight into the force both to take off and seat a tire - even the highest pain to install. Used properly this thing will last and decrease side of the road rage in taking care of those flats so much more easily.

Difficult to Use
Too small and can hurt your hand. The handle needs to be extended by another 2 inches. Concept is very good. Tested on Gatorskin tires. Was a b***h to use. Could not match the ease of use as demonstrated in the YouTube videos. A shame, cause I’m always intrigued by new gadgets. I gave it a 2.9/5.

This Tool Really Works!
This tool really works! I have a road bike with carbon tubeless rims that I run tubes in. I have had the owner of a bike shop tell me my rims are the most difficult he has ever encountered to change tires/tubes. I recently had to change a tube on my rear wheel. I have new Continental Grand Prix four season tires. These tires have a third anti-puncture belt that goes sidewall-to-sidewall. I used my tire levers to take the tire off as I think the tyre glider removal portion is too wide for my very tight fit (no big deal). I do everything possible not to use tire levers to put the tire back on, since it is easy to pinch the tube with my tight fitting rims/tires. I inserted as much of the tire into the rim as possible by hand. There was no way I would be able finish inserting the tire into the rim by hand. I had at least six inches of the circumference of the tire sticking out of the rim. I figured I would try my Tyre Glider, which has been in my saddle bag for some time. The Tyre Glider allowed me to slide the balance of the tire into the rim with very little effort. No tire levers! Also, it appears that it would be very difficult to pinch a tube with the Tyre Glider. I saw a youtube video in which the author said the Tyre Glider would be good for mountain bike tires, but it was too difficult to use with road tires. I did not find that to be the case. I will likely be buying additional Tyre Gliders for my other bikes.

Useless to me
It seemed like a good idea. Only carry one, simple to use tool. I’m sad that I wasted $16 worth of my life working for the money to buy this. Maybe it’s better for road bikes, but for my mountain bike it is worthless. I couldn’t even get the edge under the bead. Luckily I had my levers nearby. Once I got part of the bead over the rim I tried to use it “as a handle” like the video shows - to slide around and pull the rest of the bead off the rim…. NopeI didn’t even try to use it to put the tire back on, because I don’t need tools for that. Just pull it over the rim by hand. I won’t even resell this at half price because I don’t want a negative review:/
